Votes and actions: budget approved; post-auditor evaluation process retained

Joint Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice Oversight · August 20, 2026

Summary

Two formal motions passed by voice vote: approval of the 2027 budget and a motion to retain the existing survey-based annual evaluation of the post auditor; both items will be forwarded to the full committee for consideration.

The executive committee recorded two formal motions during its session. First, Chair moved to approve the 2027 budget "as presented," the motion was seconded by Vice Chair Sean Tarwater and approved by voice vote; Chris Clark said the memo will be forwarded to the full committee and then to the Legislative Coordinating Commission as part of the normal budget process.

Second, Chair moved to keep the post-auditor evaluation process "as is" and submit administration to Matt Billingsley; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The committee noted the historical practice of administering a 10-member survey and expects the director of administrative services to compile responses for presentation later in the year.
